yeah we have a staff why not a sword you could even switch it to mining tools like a jack hammer or somethin

light basin
#

I really, really wish they would add like large towns or like trade anchors type of stuff to fittable planets, a good example would be like Mos Eisley from star wars New Hope, it would really give the planets more life imo.

sour monolith
#

Eh sure, might have a reference to something like that somewhere in the game but would be cool to actually see it and be able to use it. Particularly if it wasn't just another muti-tool. I loved that staffs were added but it would have been much more fun if it would have also came with some sort of new melee mechanic.

#

Would be nice if they could add some player controlled economy, and player controlled systems. Like each player was allowed to have control of 1 system. Also be nice to get more PVE story and missions where we can take out some enemies on foot.

#

Would be so nice if there was a planet like helldivers in No mans sky

#

Or similar. Systems at war should have that feeling

wind moat
#

They should give us some tools to add our own missions and stories, lore to the game. We have vast planets and systems but no depth or story besides the main few quests (which after there done that’s it)

vast wave
#

I doubt that will happen lol

#

We mod authors who have access to some game files can see what a mess mission files are

#

If you go look up mods for NMS on Nexus Mods, you will see bajilion "better rewards" mods, dozens texture replacements, etc

#

But only a handful of quest related mods, because it's such a pain in the ass to work on

wind moat
#

It’s weird mission files are a mess, I mean there’s hardly any real missions apart from the main few quest.

#

I feel like the worlds look nice, but apart from building there’s isn’t anything else much to do.

Any news on an update for VR to fix the HUD? I want to play it in VR but the simple fact the HUD doesn't track, forcing me to almost constantly rotate is kinda frustrating. Not sure how difficult it would be, but if done it would be a massive quality of life improvement for VR players

I would really like a "Like system" for player structures. That was one of my favorite game mechanics in death stranding.

normal fox
#

would be cool to hire cargo tranport aliens to take resorces from across your bases to your freighter perhaps?, like from mining units to a central storage

vast wave
#

Storage container units are shared between freighter and planetary bases

#

The same unit # will show the same inventory when accessed from both freighter and planetary base

I think that variety in the structures you can find on a planet, I count about 5 different building structures and a couple of ruins as well as freighters, they're cool to find but it would make the game just that little bit better if more different building meshes were built.

normal fox
#

and that they would look differnt depending on race, conflic, and economy

#

like high conflic strucureds would look more well armed

#

poor would be lef tto rot and be a little less nice

olive sage
#

Yeah, I don't think there's enough telling different races and economies apart other than the economy scanner and goods prices.

#

Outlaw systems could have nipnip buds being grown or something idk just speculation

#

I would love to see massive ‘Freighter Yards’ in space.
Essentially just Uber-space stations, a place where multiple freighters can dock, perhaps with massive facilities for travellers to explore while their freighter is docked. Obviously these would be super rare, but I think it’d look awesome when you come across one

lyric pebble
#

For the love of God I hope before they stop updating they finally let us turn of “units received”. Surprised it hasn’t happened after all these years

odd horizon
#

I think it will be good, if HG update rendering of black holes to imitate its look from Interstellar.

granite cosmos
#

I think there was a mod that made black holes look similar to that
I remember using it for a while

#

On another note
The game has arctic ocean planets, but no "frozen oceans"
Not sure how possible it would be but imagine a Europa like planet with nothing but deep ocean under a solid ice layer

noble hull
#

bro i never understood the purpose of atlas passes right, like ok cool you can open locked things, but p1,p2,and p3 only have so much use, why not lock certain rarety items behind each level to incentivise having them besides just filler things to do

#

like ik the devs probably wont see this, but has anyone ever felt they were underused?

granite cosmos
#

They also open some doors in stations for loot and lore rooms
But it's standard items and if you're not really after more flavor text like me it's kinda useless

urban flax
#

I think it's most useful at v1 because of the red containers scattered everywhere, v2 matters when building up a freighter. v3 seems mostly for "what's behind this door"

Im thinking about buying NMS again for my PC, i had it for my xbox and played a couple of hundred hours a few years back but found it to be quite lonely. I have been reading its a much greater experience now. Any thoughts on this?

you never know, maybe we'll be able to build stations like how we do with freighters. some framework is already there with that in place but i doubt it'd make it

Maybe if we went too far down we’d get damage to the ship

wise kindle

Console needs a photomode button so I can enter photomode while running or boosting in ship. Maybe right directional arrow button will work?

.

Maybe the planets in black hole systems should be affected by their presence like giant waves for example

#

However that could be insanely laggy if you have people's freighters AND your bases in close proximity I still don't know if it would work especially if only one freighter is loaded in at any one time in a system.

open mountain
#

It could just be similar to freighters.

A player could buy one or claim an abandoned space station and then craft/buy updgrades like freighter docks.

#

And then one could make passive income with player owned traders etc.

Sony closed london studio. I hope HG will grab a bunch of talented pepole from there. Its a good oportunity for HG to grow.

What do you think about the addition of rouge planets, such as while warping to another system, the hyperdrive stops and you'll find a lonely planet with no lights and some special element on the surface.

#

I’d love it personally if there were places to store pets so that there were more than 6 that u can own at once. Maybe kennels or something? But only placeable in a base/freighter, and hella expensive. With the added bonus of making ur base look sick these would make it less necessary to release animals. Maybe you need to keep them fed well with an autofeeder of some kind and if they aren’t fed enough they escape? Needs to be some downside

old meteor
delicate marsh
hushed knot
#

it'd be even cooler if you could randomly encounter rogue planets like that via warping

Hear me out:
Dyson spheres in NMS

Random ‘dark systems’ on the map but when you warp in, they’re actually just systems where the star’s been encased in a Dyson sphere and all planets are icy

maybe customizable npc's for settlements and freighters? Or maybe npc's with specific jobs that help boost your freighter?

has anyone came across fox tech DNA tool for no mans sky. has pretty cool features. like you can create a trading card like image for your owned starships,freighters,multitools and companions I wish nomans sky integrate this into their discovery/wonders menu :#1199624706278555668 message

sweet bronze
#

I think they should make a new enhanced animation system for planetary animals or at least make a whole overhaul for animals like adding herds, actual immerseve hunting system, maybe animal domains. This would be very cool. Maybe planets would be more than a five sec in and out adventure, Maybe that could make pets intresting like every pet has their own unique attack pattern, overall i think the game needs some more personality...

gloomy hazel
#

I wish there was a bounty system like skyrim or even assassins creed origins

gloomy hazel
#

we already see bounties on other ncp why not the pc player

noble hull
#

yo does it happen to you guys that the mission agents cargo drop off missions sometimes tell you to visit nonstop star systems and never seems to end?

zenith root
#

Having different loading/warp screens would be cool, for example taking a black hole would have a different warp screen than the regular, portals can probably stay the same but jumping systems needs a cooler loading screen imo and depending on the color of the star it could also change the loading screen’s color too

storm skiff
#

I think the ancient ruin thing from added in outlaw should be called archaeological (dig?) site instead. Idk just makes it a little clearer what you are supposed to do.

unique topaz
#

maybe a central hub as a base
(to own multiple freighters)
Cuz we got 3 capital types

lament rover
#

2nd time asking gas giants with sky bases and a vehicle to traverse the clouds that also has a build feature so you can build a base floating in a gas giant. And maybe as we go farther down into the gas giant the more our ship starts to deteriorate

unique topaz
hushed knot
#

more kinds of living ships and other biopunk tech

tepid valley
#

Better filter mechanism that can filter out system by galaxy.
And an indicator that that which systems are being shown in teleported list.
Or make a function to show that system on the list

sturdy knot
#

hear me out here, but we should have an option to have neither a cape or a backpack, or maybe an option not to have armour at all when inside a space station or the anomaly.
i love the way some of the new cloaks (also, more of these, for every species) look and the backpacks and capes can kinda get in the way of that when i'm equipping them

hushed knot
#

wdym? you can only wear either a cape or backpack not both

sturdy knot
#

i mean the option to wear neither

It'd be nice to have the market system rehashed with the upcoming station upgrade

I wonder if they ever plan adding option to assist in destroying/building a station or taking over systems for different races

oblique smelt
#

Pegi 7 could be a problem in killing npcs.

acoustic harness
#

No direct killing. Just ship battles and station surrendering

#

We already "kill" other pilots. Even en masse when You destroy pirate dreadnough

#

Maybe some kind of hacking station core

gloomy hazel
#

I said this before but I would love if there was an option to build space stations as bases

Would be neat to have some Mon Calamari style captial freighters to go with the "Empire" themed ones inspired by Star Wars.

Somewhere in the NMS universe Admiral Ackbar is looking for his Home One

What I wish you could do and this is really a nitpick, is I wish you could call down a party of NPCs to follow you on the ground. Like your squad in space.

why not expand

#

gas planets would be super cool

#

i’ll remake cloud city

barren hinge
jagged wharf
#

they should make a new update to where if you crash your ship it immediately uninstalls your game

#

no but on a real note, i think more destruction in terms of hitting stuff with your ship would be a cool feature

barren hinge
#

maybe only on hard mode

jagged wharf
#

yes! that’d be super neat

barren hinge
#

hasent been a planet update in a while

old meteor
#

gas planets would be awesome
a lot of potential to have massive abandoned stations and stuff hidden within the clouds of gas

#

or, as others have said here, cloud cities

icy thunder
#

yeah space is in need of a slight make-over

#

they should make asteroid belts where they're concentrated and plentiful but keep some floating around for emergency fuel

barren hinge
icy thunder
#

i mean around planets not just scattered in clusters in the middle of space everywhere

#

make rings around planets real

restive zenith
icy thunder
#

no they're just everywhere in high density

echo rivet
#

Idk why they haven't done this already but they need to Add a way to automatically sort envintory by most valuable, type (raw materials, crafted materials etc.) Or more. It should be a simple button perhaps its an exosuit upgrade that is a modification of the little floating thing on your exosuit that can do inventory management for player, starship,freighter and of course storage containers

wind moat

They need to add more engaging enemy combat. New enemies

NPC AI in games begs for upgrade for like 2 decades now. Nice to hear that something is happening in that direction.

odd steppe
#

i saw something about gas planets from way earlier when i looked at the page, but i wanted to mention true gas planets do have a solid core supposedly. Maybe they could add special suit upgrades that allow you to fly beneath the gas atmosphere and land on the core, sorta like the stellar warp upgrades.

#

like titanium reinforcement for a mid class gas giant and so on.

brave vault
#

Even if gas giants just let you park a freighter above it, and actually have use for stellar extractors (and they fixed all thw bugs with them) id be super happy

fiery forum
#

Is there going to be a Hit Box Update. I love dying to being stuck in a freighter

terse owl
#

I think the game should buff up the pvp, i know they are adding racing but also adding like showdown/duel arenas that you can queue up for at the nexus/anomaly with rewards for x number of wins would be pretty cool and fun and their could be options for multitool, exocraft, and starship battles

upper copper
#

Like it would be cool to park in a nebula and pick up some stellar gasses.

olive barn
#

I like the new way they did expeds, making a weekly short exped type thing, would be great

#

Early game is fun

#

Start a game, do a bunch of random things, end of week, adds some QS or naninites, or whatever to the main

#

Maybe toss a legacy blueprint into it

#

Man all of these atlas themed rewards for this expedition has left me wanting an atlas themed ship now

#

And I know the sentinel ships are atlas derived but I want something that has the atlas aesthetics, Y’know?

ideally something with a lot more moving parts than the sentinel ships generate with too but idk what that would look like tbh

yea i wana use then if we can take the freighter why can’t we use it

whats been happin with any new update/news

fiery coral
#

I’m begging for patch notes. I’m itching to see if they removed a bug I got during the Exped.

#

Basically, at the end, my “max alien standing” section on the rewards screen shot up to the max value, resulting in me getting an award of negative units. Since games (well, computers as a whole) don’t like negative numbers, the amount of money I actually received going back to my save was the max amount of 4.2 Billion.

#

I sent out a bug report the next day, here’s hoping they did something about it

gloomy hazel
#

There's an update?

fiery coral
#

Well, we had the major Omega update recently, but in terms of patches/bug fixes, no word on those.

#

If anyone’s new here, take it from me. DON’T play updates the first day, there’s often a lot of bugs they unfortunately ship them with, and it’s overall much more worth it to wait it out a few days.

#

I played Frontiers the first day when that dropped a few years back. Didn’t corrupt my save or anything like that, but it was an absolute ball ache.

olive sage
#

An update bringing together the little updates eg: echoes and singularity together, if I'm honest the game needs to be brought together to one storyline or something as it's too complicated to get each missions as it is however over long periods of time it may be nigh on impossible for players to know what the hell is going on, I appreciate each content release and update however they should be incorporated better into the game rather than a random transmission after a warp it would be cool if there were quest NPCs in a Bethesda type of way by which these missions can be easily activated or something

vast wave
#

So you are not a fan of "random transmissions" and want to do it like in Bethesda games

#

Where DLCs are started by random note or NPC approaching (Skyrim) or random radio stations (Fallout)

#

Yeah totally different mechanic /s

crystal summit
#

This is completely my opinion, but I think it would be nice to have clans in game and home planets for each race that has big cities and their all hubs like the anomaly, and jobs like mercenary, space officer, etc. I think it would bring groups of people together and make the game world more interactive.

#

Cause nowadays I only see people in the hub and people just walking around

#

Almost like a antisocial environment

#

Like right now, I’m in the anomaly and it just feels dead even with people present

#

And with the job titles and the brand new environments, I think it would get people who like similar things to have the same thing. Space officers can band together and fight crime (NPC or players alike, players are iffy cause that would make the game sorta competitive) mercenaries can form groups and take on jobs like exterminating aliens infestations or pirates or get hired and do the other way around etc

#

I guess u could compare what I’m talking about sorta like star citizen

#

And that’s another idea, ships that are multiplayer based. Say I’m with a team of people we have the pilot and then other people do other tasks on the ship. Occasionally if ur starship gets attacked by like a pirate scan cause ur carrying cargo, it has battle stations.

vast wave
#

Problem is game is not a proper multiplayer title

#

Switch doesn't have MP at all, all platforms can play the game offline

#

Another issue is you have your vision of a community with its professions or hierarchy

#

And so will every other player interested in this idea

#

So what, HG has to incorporate all of these ideas? Or just 1 and have the rest of community complain about "lacking the option to be profession X"?

#

(which they will do regardless of what's gonna get implemented by the devs)

crystal summit
#

It was just an idea, Ik most of it will probably get discarded. But something similar that creates more interaction just seems nice. Playing the game alone can get a lil lonely u know?

#

It doesn’t have the be exactly as I’ve described it

vast wave
#

It's not about getting discarded

#

What I meant was the brackets can be only this wide

#

Take a look at the existing NPC guilds: why only a mercenary, an explorer or trader? Why not a base constructors guild? Why not an artists association?

#

Where do people who wanna do K go when all options we have are X, Y or Z?

crystal summit
#

So what I’m understanding is that we only have XYZ and it would be difficult to add other guilds as u describe. We can only have so much is basically what u mean?

vast wave
#

No, more like whatever you wanna add it's not gonna align with what people wanna do

#

Having people form their own guilds allows them to roleplay as they see fit

crystal summit
#

Oh now I see what u mean

#

I appreciate you for your response

oblique smelt
#

You can kinda already do that in game. Gather pepole, make a guild name , baner, apperance colors, Make star system your "clan system hub" do missions for guild benefit.

#

I know the mechnic is shallow

#

But its there

rustic gate

I would so love a setting in custom that allows you to increase ship/multitool limits. Obvi this would make ur game a custom one instead of whatever game mode you have on currently. Another thing id like to suggest is a multitool rack that is functional for storage. Hella expensive tho

I’d love to see the general NPC container like buildings available for us aswell

I’m telling you guys, NMS needs a Helldivers 2 crossover. Strike while the iron’s hot.

#

Ain’t no way we’re sitting on such a massive sci-fi universe and have only managed to have been afforded just one licensed crossover

#

Now, I may have my opinions on Disney and how they run the franchise, but you mean to tell me that Star Wars hasn’t even paid Sean a passing glance? Not one peek?

That it needs that

My guesses are:

  • the new space stations
  • something to do with coloured star systems
  • something to do with comets: new resources/new object of interest in space
  • something completely different that we'll all go "Ohhhhhhhh" when we realise the connection to the emoji

almost definitely the station update or some revamps to the starmap/systems

Did the news ticker channel disconnect from the internal releases? If not, it's possible this isn't an update at all. There hasn't been an internal update in several weeks, when they were patching 4.5. They usually come rapidly before an actual update

they probably have their own internal build distribution as well, rather than pushing every little change/update to steam (even just a depot marked internal)

Any news on VR updates? Scrolling through the patch notes and didn't see anything. VR continues to be unplayable for me since the hud doesn't track with my head

I'm seriously goddamn happy for starship customization it's time to build a fleet

Great new update tbh☝️

#

I keep hopping for at least a semi planet update tho. Not something that breaks the game like Atlas rise but hey, something new

#

My only take with the game is the planets tbh

#

Something cool but probably impossible to do because it would be game breaking would be wars and shi between factions, maybe a game mode or something like Eve online but on a smaller scale

so what needs an overhaul next? Are there any big long-time requests left? Ship customization is huge. I can't think of anything else people always ask for.

because if the latter is the case, that's exactly what enhances exploration and connects things better

dusky saddle
#

would love planetary points of interest to be way larger like these stations, more going on.

So if you like the wings of a crashed fighter, you can scrap the fighter and you can pick the wings

it's the only thing putting me off returning to the game rn tbh

Soo hear me out 2# is it possible to ad purchasable or craftable orbitor stations

#

Maybe even setelements or city building on random locations

#

I wanna colonize planets👹

#

And via that mining factory's extra via makeing city's U could ad districts witch players can purchase as living corters and adding more criminality like street controled by pirated or gangs maybe even being able to repopulate 1 of the 4 spices would love to rebuild what autophage lost

#

City's encampments vilages could be similar as setelements or maybe repurposed or used as a expansion

worn walrus

Rocket upgrades would be dope

#

Planets with aggressive sentinel presence should have like idk orbital stations/rings around the planet warding off any ships that pass through upon entry you are given a warning of sorts about the planet and you should turn around

#

With that in mind varying levels of sentinel presence relative to what’s on the planet (more valuable things = more stations/rings)

#

Oh and also have these stations/rings be raidable but in that process putting a bounty on your head

#

Would really add to the entire ethos of sentinels showing they are more than just a series of space ships and freighters/capital ships

the fact that engine improvements were mentioned in the patch notes is pretty exciting for the future i think

now that stations are updated, I kinda want the surface outposts to get an update. they haven't changed since 1.0 and I've always found their open air design kind of weird

the archive doesn't have so much in it that it should be that much bigger

yeah, I always wished there were procedural corridors and rooms in the Archive buildings to explore, even if they didn't do much. but the "too big for the actual space used" thing is something HG just likes I guess, the space stations are way bigger than the interior takes up also, even the old ones

Also, posted this a while ago but with the new stations now…

#

Upgrading Freighters: Small numbers of systems could be “Shipyard” systems, with a large freighter dock either attached to the station or floating in the system somewhere. You can use that dock to upgrade the class of your freighter (and maybe purchase freighter upgrade modules too). Upgrading your freighter will take: 2 days for C>B, 4 days for B>A, and 7 days for A>S. During that time, you are unable to use or access your freighter, unless it is to cancel the upgrade. Once the upgrade is completed, you must return to the system and pick up your freighter. The upgrades will also cost nanites.

I would love if they introduced a giant shipyard that would expand on freighters next at said shipyards we can make frigates similar to how we make ships now.

After that introduce 4 player space battle consisting of each players freighters involved hehe

The single most frustrating thing to me in NMS is having to physically be present to transfer items from resource harvest bases NMS has almost every item already that would allow full automation except a way to transfer most items from building to building with the exception of the very start of the chain in resource harvesting. It also is lacking a way to automatically inject/pull items into general storage. If you could build a machine that could pull a specific item from storage at a set rate and place it in a logistic network that connected to a refiner and a machine that accepted items from a logistic network and placed them into general storage at a set rate you would be able to fully automate production,

#

Another way to do this would be to change how silos work in the game. Have each base resource in the game a have a universal silo accessible in their freighter but each type of silo would require it be unlocked and built in the freighter. Instead of building the old silos in a base a new item could be built that would transfer harvested resources to the appropriate freighter silo.

vast wave
#

Or maybe we let NMS be the game that it is, not another clone of Factorio?

#

The game where we travel the virtually endless universe, discover its wonders and wacky stuff, smell the alien flowers, crush some exotic rocks, befriend some sentient blobs, buy some sleek starships and blow up some pirates

#

Not a game where we produce stuff for the sake of producing so we can produce more once we produce enough

ruby heath
#

If I could instantly travel between my bases with very little loading time this wouldn't be an issue as it is if I need to collect resources I set up bases to harvest it can take 30 minutes or more of waiting in loading screens which makes me just not want to play the game. As for your snaky reply if you don't want automation don't use it including the things already in the game like harvesters it's not like it's not already in the game it's just not very well connected as yet.

#

I really can't understand that type of attitude why gatekeep what is suggested to add to the game just because it's not what you specifically want the more added to the game the more there is to do the more appeal the game has to a wider audience. If everyone had your attitude there would never be any new features because anything proposed or thought of would not be some current players liking.

vast wave
#

There's no gatekeeping form my side

#

The game does lots of things on a basic level because the community wants it

#

But none of them are as pronounced as the core aspect of the game which is exploration

#

All the game mechanics are catered not to impede on that aspect

#

HG will not redo the whole procedural generation and limits on bases just so someone can have a proper factory going on

ruby heath
vast wave
#

Even the recent example, the highly anticipated ship customisation turned out pretty basic

#

Maybe because HG wants us to go explore the endless

#

Instead of relying on automation

ruby heath
#

"There's no gatekeeping form my side" Every reply has been telling me what I'm allowed to suggest which is gatekeeping you might want to stop telling me what I can ask/request or at least stop saying your not gatekeeping at least when that's all your doing.

#

If they don't want to implement it they won't if they want me to stop requesting things they will tell me it's not up to you

#

All I want you to do is think about what this game is about

ruby heath

#

What I enjoy get out of this game isn't what you get out of this game neither is more valid and you nor anyone else has the right to tell me or others how to play enjoy the game

Also you are not the developer you can not nor have any right to define what the game is about and even if you 100% knew the vision of the developers about this game there is nothing stopping that vision from changing or developing as it I am sure it already has.

#

I think people who need resource farms are suboptimizing

#

I've played for a lot and rarely am I short on any resources

#

also games aren't required to appeal to everyone. this is space game, so if it added factorio it'd be a kinda weak update. now adding some QoL but that's a stretch imo

I'd like conveyor belts personally, but only to make future city stuff

"I think people who need resource farms are suboptimizing" is rude imo

I think an overhaul of the cockpit displays would be nice, especially so that you could see all the panels at once without moving the camera

Maybe not on overhaul, but some polish. Like having controls move as you move your ship, stuff like that

Ideally, I'd like to see functioning flight instruments like an altimeter next to the speed panel

You know what NMS really needs more static structures in space like in some areas of space you will come across a ship assembly yard to scrap old frigates and create new ones or even more rare ship yards that make freighters with crazy amounts of resources.

We should see other things like space habitats and even at some point own our own one that acts like a personal station.

#

Think of the game startopia where you would build shops on this station and NPC would dock to buy and sell giving you a little passive income hehe

#

It would also be infulancing how the markets ebb and flow when it comes to supply and demand.

#

They need purpose though i can understand shipyards because hey the frigates and freighters had to come from somewhere.

#

Refineries could expand on asteroids in space giving us a whole new chain of resources that can only be found in space.

#

utilizing refineries in space could be the only meens to refine said materials utilizing gas for example from being in red green and blue systems.

#

Giving us means to experiment with 1 type of asteroid materials for example by 3 different ways for basic then 2 additional high quality version by utilizing red and blue for example.

#

Call thease new materials reactive materials.

#

Then introduce new upgrade to become resistant to said materials or enhance weapons with them doing more damage and have enemies that are resistant to some types and others to other types.

I want cities, planetary warfare, planetary destruction, planetary colonization, the ability to create an empire. Guilds vs guilds.

lofty olive
#

I’d prefer more in depth multiplayer over anything

#

Multiplayer is so empty you are practically just following each other around and you can’t even have a base together

#

Like when you invite someone to a group it should stay like that instead of needed to join each time

tame niche
#

I hope one day they add conversations between NPCs in space stations that lets you learn a word or two just passing by them.

autumn wedge
#

Then whenever a player within the guild builds a base it will upload it to cloud based system that when ever you are online and log in will automaticly download the base so its in sync with everyone when the last time it was uploaded.

#

Also have a new building called the uplink that a player may press to make them the host of a instance and other players who press it can see it this should theoretically support more people up to 16 utilizing the host once players leave the range of the base they will disconnect from the host.

#

If the host leaves the area all players will disconnect and all players will be prompt if they would like to upload the base as long as one of them does the base will be saved.

#

If all players decline the base will revert back to a previous state.

#

then at some point in the future be allow to make it so you can utilize a dedicated server to be used on said uplinks thus would be able to maintain way more players as a sort of pocket server.

#

The host would be a artificial player connected to the NMS server while all players within the pocket server being the dedicated server would be uploading and downloading information to and from it.

Players > artificial player (dedicated server) > NMS server > artificial player (dedicated server) > Players

#

I just thought of a really good idea

#

Player customized frigates that act as a multicrew like a mini freighter

#

that one player can control as if it was a normal ship while the others can control turrets and systems like directional shields.

#

It would have 4 landing pads on it by default that all players can land on and allow the main player to innitate warps to other systems.

#

Thus allow enemy frigates to arrive in huge fleets to try and take on your one.

Dear Hello Games:
I propose, that you improve base building and rendering. Increase the number of parts in a single system drastically. Improve performance and rendering issues.

Why you may ask?

Because I want to see an ecumenopolis in NMS. A city covering an entire planet. I WANT CORUSCANT

icy thunder
#

thats a little much. no computer would be able to render an all-city planet unless they restricted you to certain zones, but then that would kind of kill the NMS vibe

i think a cool idea would be to have sentinel factory or fortress worlds. could have fabricators as decor and much tougher patrols

I hope one day we get a new computer to visit on the space stations/our freighters that allows us to put ships into deep storage, essentially allowing us to have more than 6 ships collected, but only able to have 6 easily accessible. Like for each slot to store in deep storage you have to pay a hefty chunk of nanites and then to withdraw a ship from deep storage you have to trade in one of your current ships if you are at the 6-ship cap. Maybe even make it so you have to pay units every time you withdraw a ship.

Planetary stuff:

  • More planet assets and colors. Would be nice if radiation and toxicity wasn't heavily leaning to green and yellow.
  • More biomes with distinct species, Terrain and minerals
  • Gas planets
  • Deeper and more diverse cave systems. Objectives within caves and stuff to reward exploration
  • Fauna behavior overhaul. More fauna designs and types
  • Deeper seas and "rivers". Different kinds of liquid for seas and lakes with unique fauna/flora to each
  • A way to mark an area as "base" or "mining spot" to prevent terrain and flora/mineral from being regenerated within the area
  • Wacky planetary terrain, Weird fauna and flora. Imagine you are walking on a planet and you see a spider-like creature the size of a mountain slowly pass by. Or floating flora etc.
  • New sorts of weather and more variety of effects like floods, Hail, Gas clouds etc
  • Waves and tide to make seas look more ethical

Interplanetary:

  • Stars actually being a thing. Maybe new kinds of stuff that spawn near stars and stations near em.
  • More space fauna. More things you run to when you explore space
  • Planet spacing. It'd feel more natural when planets aren't nearly in the same place
  • Asteroids and protoplanets you can land on with their own stuff

Most likely this has already been suggested, but I’ll write it anyway. We need slightly larger ships and the ability to move around in them and perform at least some functions such as repairs. More immersive experience with the ship.

#

It would also be cool to fly in a group of up to 4 people. So that a friend could sit down on a turret, for example. And also group missions in open space, for example clearing an infected cargo ship from some creatures.

planets should have multiple biomes instead of just one biome covering the whole thing

I’m not taking any credit but it was really nice to see some of these ideas come alive 🙂

Especially the part where you find ships in the wild to in a way unlock new custom parts.

I know everyone has wanted to customize ships since the get go basically, but this little detail made me smile, it made me realize I had a good idea around how to unlock new parts, no matter what. I really needed this little ”win” or whatever, life sucks. ☺️ 🥹

More exotic planet types:

Hurricane worlds (fire, ice, lightning, light distortion energy, gravity, etc) they have these massive storms on them visible from space and if you enter them you get a visual spectacle and high danger, but add building stuff collectibles for instance a lightning ball that has vfx.

Crystal planets A planet where the ground is reflective and crystaline, with glass storms that are deadly to the point you have to be in a vehicle or in cover while they pass, or have your shields be very powerful.

Weird planet rapid fire:
A planet that has apparitions that mess with you, like false creatures and ghosts

High gravity planets that require special vehicles to roam.

Molten ocean worlds, requires heat shielding and hover vehicles

Aight Gonna write it out....(Taking deep breath)
Massive Cities: Cities (200-500km) based on races or player-created empires, as part of empire creation.
Empire Creation: Create empires that conquer systems, build armies, and engage in warfare against other factions, empires, or player-made empires. Includes city creation and conquest.
Improved Combat: Enhance melee combat with lightsabers, swords, knives, axes, etc.
Planetary Warfare: Wars on planets with large-scale conflicts between races or factions for territory. Join the battle alongside NPCs in full-scale wars.
Planetary Destruction: Use certain freighters to launch powerful attacks on planets, with consequences for players based on their actions.
Planetary Colonization: Correlates with empires and cities, where creating or taking over a city means colonizing a planet.
Guilds vs. Guilds: Introduce player-based guilds for competitive battles and fun.

I think it would be great if we got a wildlife update. Maybe add new parts for old creature types, or add new creatures. It would also be cool to see changes in plants other than color, such as having fruits to harvest. It would also be nice to see different biomes, such as a swamp that’s covered in a small layer of water. It would also be nice if we could have deeper oceans.

List of animals I think we could base new creatures off of: Crocodiles, snakes, giant spiders, Komodo Dragons, bats, anglerfish, (IK about the abyssal horror, but I mean as fauna) flying fish, and ostriches.

It would also be cool to have a desert planet, based off arakis from Dune, along with worms that can kill you.

Id love to see a Squadron overhaul

  • Nanites spent on squadron slots now spent to unlock squadron bays 1-4. Bays found in freighter hangar.

  • Npc's can be hired as normal, but you will be given option to keep their current ship or scrap it and assign your own. Hangar bay would let you move a ship from your main slots, to a squad slot.

  • Squad ships now independant of pilot, and can be upgrades as per usual methods

  • Theorhetically can be used to reorder ship summoning order, as well as effectivly 4 extra slots.

Ideas for a fauna overhaul:

Behavior

  • Fauna acts in unique ways than they do currently. Making them more interesting. Though this also creates more danger and forces the player to be more cautious around fauna. Certain fauna may have more than one type of behavior.

Basic kinds of behavior:

  • Shy: The fauna will run away when the player or another fauna approaches them
  • Territorial: The fauna will warn the player or other types of fauna excluding certain members of its species or family. They will attack if you don't heed their warning.
  • Curious: The fauna will follow the player or other fauna.
  • Mild: They act much more like the current fauna of NMS
  • Stationary: The fauna is mostly still or very slow. They dont interact much but they can still be predators or prey.

Complex kinds of behavior:

  • Herding/swarms: A much more elaborate kind of herding. Herds can vary in size but they are often 5-30 individuals. They band together, follow an alpha and protect each other unless they are shy fauna. Packs of predators are often smaller in numbers than prey herds.
  • Nesting: Certain fauna may create all sorts of homes. Nests, webs, holes, hills and many more. The number of fauna-related objects on a planet never changes and it often regenerates in a nearby spot.
  • Migration: Fauna may move to a new place or biome in search of food, mates or suitable habitat. This also related to new planets with seasons.

Actions:

  • Climbing: The fauna is able to climb terrain or flora
  • Digging: The fauna is able to dig through terrain
  • Plot: The fauna can hide and wait for prey to surprise it. They may also use flora and terrain to hide themselves from the player

Symbiotic and parasitic relationships:

  • Fauna living with other fauna or flora either as one body or seperate. They are often found together.
  • Parasites will harm their host and may also effect the player.
#

Habitats:

  • Fauna may have varying habitats depending on the biome, season and time of the day. Fauna no longer completely disappear at a time of the day instead some disappear and some head to bed in another habitat.
  • Fauna may live on or in flora or on another species or their parents
  • Fauna no longer spawn haphazardly on planets instead they spawn mostly on certain places such as mountains, plains etc and rarely on others.

# little ridge dude they gotta add it

the thing is there needs to be a reason for factories, currently there's not much reason to mass produce stuff other than MONEY

so my concept for a factory update allows players to craft a whole ton of items that were previously uncraftable but only through factories, and then using some those items in other factories to produce larger things

for instance the update would let players craft ship subcomponent items (items you get from scrapping ships in space stations) and then use those subcomponents in factories to craft ship parts to build ships

and like being able to make parts to build parts for custom freighters and frigates to like attack and wage war with

unique bay
little ridge
# unique bay freighters and frigate stuff would be really cool but I feel like the devs might...

heres my standpoint behind it

with the war could come like space construction/more player interactions/custom freighters (something everyone wants) more uses for freighters/ and could add something that is like spice from dune and cause more player interactions, and to make it like not such a big deal if something blows up you get the supplies back but like planets have certain reasources that youcan only get from certain planets making player v player war actually worth something

not saying anything about it yet though

or just better pve so different types of freighters and frigates more uses cuz idk if uve ever played infinite lagrange but they have a bunch of cool frigates and freighters with customisability for different purposes like theres planet destroyers, repair carriers, arty, missiles, drone carriers and different types of drones and stuff, and add a capital ship class that gives u like an enders game type control over a gigantic battle

sharp ledge
#

I have a weird spergy idea for an entire themed update, SOME of its concepts are VERY SUBJECTIVE and certainly may not be particularly liked by some but bear with me...

#

Update name: Together

Additions

  1. Carrier starship:
    New ship type named Carrier, a two player ship with seat for a pilot and a seat for a passenger, the pilot steers the ship and fires its main weapons, meanwhile passanger has a variety of tasks, ranging from mining resources in space to firing at enemies chasing the starship

  2. Void mineral deposits:
    Many surface minerals now may be found in deposits hidden within asteroids orbiting planets, though too hardy to break down with standard ship equipment, they can be mined with an advanced mining laser installed on a carrier ship for the passenger to mine

  3. New game mode:
    A new Duo story mode, which is essentially the original main story but with dialogue re-written for immersion of two players, aside from that the gameplay is much more connected, with same dialogue being done both players voting on speech options, objectives being shared and completed by both players, base building privilages, ship, freighter and settlement ownership being fully shared, whenever the two players feel like they may wish to sever ties from eachother turning their save files into regular mode and allowing them to continue on fully independently.
    the gamemode shares its servers with regular modes but not with permadeath.

  4. Exocraft Passenger seats:
    Exocraft now gain access to passanger seats for another player to use installed weaponry and mining equipment independently from the driver, gather resources and fight more efficiently together!

#
  1. Starship combat rework:
    Starship combat will get a full overhaul to make combat feel both less chaotic and more skillful and satisfying, the overhaul would include drastic reduce to overall manouverability of all ships at high speeds but also increase in damage to promote sticking to your target.
    Now don't assume lack of manouverability leaves you a sitting duck, the ships are now fitted with a variety of new assistance equipment in the cockpit, amongst which is firing pattern detector, an onboard screen displays an oncoming damage allowing you to dodge in opposite direction when chasing a target, upgrade your tech to increase the detection speed, additionally when entering a chase with a target at high enough of a speed, the ship automatically locks onto the target allowing for dodging without necessarily breaking the lock on unless the distance from the target is too great, additionally if your ship is fast enough you may get close enough to your target and make use of another useful piece of cockpit equipment, a targeting array, once close enough to a locked on target the targeting array aboard the ship allows more precise aiming at your targets ship tech, allowing you to disable their shields permanently, reduce their speed for the rest of the fight or even disable their ship temporarily to knocked them out of the fight until you feel safe enough to persue them.
    During the reworked ship combat the enemies won't fire upon you from all sides and rather attempt to chase you just like you chase them, sometimes when enough fire is sent your way dodging may prove too much to efficiently aim forcing you to let your target go and evade until you manage to catch up on someone else,though having a passanger in your backseat to fire upon persuers may prove a relief.
sharp ledge
#

Pirate and sentinel ships also get a rework to fit into the new combat design as to not let them stay in the dust, the ships now gain classes with particular behaviours, roles, advantages and disadvantages.
Jackal ships specialise in fast paced hit and run tactics, though not particularly hardy or damaging they are highly manouverable at low speeds and extremely fast at high speeds, players chasing at low speeds may struggle to shake them off when trying to break off a chase, only at high speed can they shake them off easily by rapidly decreasing speed but catching up with them afterwards may prove difficult for slower ships, only the fastest ships can reach them close enough to target their vitals.
Vulture ships are weak and fragile piloted by cowardly scavengers, usually a few may gather around the site of battle, waiting.
Vultures remain inactive throughout most of the fight until the player chased a singke target for too long, seeing it as an opportunity to pounce they collectively pounce behind the player hoping to overwhelm them with firepower, if not destroyed they tend to scatter in fearful frenzy once every other ship has been defeated.
Fixers as the name suggest are large and slow Haulers filled with variety of spare parts for quick fixes to any of their damaged comrades, though slow and not very manouverable, they are hardy and resistant to damage, not hard to catch up with and damage vitals but their slow speed allows their fellow pirates to catch up with the player much easier.
Commanders are jack of all trade fighter ships that are fast, manouverable and hardy but not nearly as much as their specialised counterparts, they occassionally provide boost in stats to the players targets while in the chase and twice per battle may summon reinforcements in the form of grunts, but if destroyed earlier than the rest of its squad it may temporarily demoralize them causing jackals to fly slower, vultures to scatter and fixers to provide repairs slower.

#

And finally Grunts, basic pirate ships with no particular purpose, strength or skill, will generally join chase after the player and provide minimal firepower.

#

All of these changes are very drastic but made to create more intense chases and fights in the space while making each ship feel more specialised, focus on speed and wear out high value targets early, manouver well and wear everyone out individually, and in more combat intense sytems with most dangerous pirates and largest amounts your squadron may finally begin to shine by drawing the heat off of you or provide occassional help by supporting you in a chase.

#

Fight alone with a squadron or with a trusty gunner aboard your shared trusty Carrier or split up in individual fighter, how you handle those trying to tear you down is up to you

This was long and tiring to read, i know, and though im sure a more connected co-op may be enjoyed by a lot of people i do know A LOT OF PEOPLE will not be a fan of my idea for space combat rework, but i nevertheless hope to hear what some of you may think about my crazy spergy idea for a whole co-op themed update

Some good ground combat is needed on nms. The desonant planet and it's corrupt sentinel enemies are a good start.
instead of spreading these sentinels randomly across all over the planet .it would be better if these enemies are found in certain pois / regions

  1. For starters they can occupy existing pois such as trading outposts or observatory or other minor settlements.
    When a players discovers this poi it can be a normal one or can be overrun by one of these sentinel enemies that the player can clear and get some reward .
    This actually improves on planet exploration without adding any biome varieties.

  2. They can add some sorta mega fauna guarding loot in naturally formed POIs such as on top of mountains,on floating islands , or under a cave .
    Player can get a unique loot after defeating them.

  3. Man how cool it would be to have on planetary pirate hideouts . We can clear them for high-value contraband loot.

  4. Sentinel pillars are pretty basic. Sentinel pillars should be overhauled to be a giant sentinel hive building with multi floor interior player has to navigate and kill all the sentinels inside them to find the disable sentinels switch at the core of the sentinel hive building.

I don't know if they have patched that in the last patch... but if you trade someone a ship then quickly recruit them... it now randomizes their vessel when they are recruited. That doesn't work anymore. I spent all last week trying to build a squadron.. only to spend 500 million on ship parts ... only to have it randomize the results. I think it's part of the new ship system. I mean having total freedom to set up your squadron like you want.. that would be nice I feel

How about some Bandit settlements/bases? They could be like mini dungeons that you fight your way through, armed with their own exo-walkers and discoverable using coded beacons like the sentinel pillars.

also I wanted your guys's opinions on this: part of my combat update concept is adding a bunch more contraband items including a new class of smuggled goods called "Narcotics" which are literally, yes, space drugs

here are two concepts I have for them, one for the Gek and one for the Korvax. They can be sold like contraband at a high profit in non-outlaw systems, however selling the specific item to individuals directly of the preferred race will yield a much greater profit (for instance selling the Gek one to Gek pilots in space stations)

I'm being careful with how much I describe this because I don't know if I'm at risk of getting muted or something for talking about fictional space drugs XD

#

Why don't we have a NPC terminal building for missions called a ambassador that allows you to accept missions as well as send members of your squadron to do missions.

#

It would obviously be the Korvax race as this NPC due to we already have 2 geks and 2 Vy'keen

#

It would also utilize the squadrons a little more if you could send them to go do missions in your stead from said terminal.

A new gun type (kinda like the neutron cannon but in a more unique way) that would fire a spread of shots (like a shot gun instead of a little area) and could be upgraded like a multi tool or starship to be more powerful, have a faster charge rate, more shots, and more damage but will require a lot more ammo per upgrade and be rather hard to find (only discoverable or findable from destroying a S class dreadnought) but be worth it

Capital Ship Upgrade Suggestion:

The Suggestion:
Instead of bieng able to upgrade at every Space port, Limit Capital Ship Upgrading to only random Top End Systems. Like Tier 3 Manufacturing, etc. and Rare Random Pirate Stations. Each player would need to locate an upgrade station by bringing it close to the space station and checking the ship upgrade panel. To see if there is in option to Upgrade their Capital Ship. , Make it a bit more Challenging having to search for the station. To save on LAG and Loading their would be a 1 player Upgrade per station limit. So with Multiplayer Networking enabled Only 1 player may have their captial ship bieng upgraded at a station at a time.

Now for the Costs:
As we all know Capital Ships and Dreadnots are HUGE . So I am of the Opinion it should be Expensive to upgrade cap ships.

Example Costs:
Class C to Class B Upgrade Cost
Money: $50,000,000
Nanites: 50,000
Materials: Carbon: 10,000
Ferite: 20,000
Cobalt: 10,000
Amount of time to Complete Upgrade: 24 (Real) Hours. Note: Capital Ship will be unavailable during upgrade process.

Class B to Class A Upgrade Cost Would be same as above but more Expensive and take longer to upgrade.

Class A to Class S Upgrade Cost Would be same as above but the most Expensive and take the longest time to upgrade.

NOTE: Players Should be able to Perminently Repaint their Capital Ships. Repainting can only be done at time of Starting Capital Ship Upgrade.

I feel This is a great idea. It would give Players something to do with all the Money and Materials We are all hoarding. I know some may complain its to expensive, Well, Sorry but as Capital ships are the largest ships in the game. its ment to be expensive. It gives Players somethinng to work for if they dont want to cheese it and just save load at a posted Portal location.

Thank you and I hope you like the idea.

No it’s not… you can’t really look out of it. Plus I think the new stations really need separate rooms. The old stations were minimal but at least there was a bar there, making it feel like a somewhat lively space where pilots chilled, instead of a giant open room that is all business. Some of the charm got lost

As we are all aware, Each system is Static. I mean It never chages its economy, combat lvl etc. I think it would be great if System economies could change or fluctuate. So a Tier 3 economy combat 1 system could become a Tier 1 system combat 3. Also as the system economy changes so would the quality of ships seen at ports and the quality and cost/price of goods bought and sold at the systems galactic traders. . I think it would make the game alot more fun as well

So, I know it's extremely unlikely MP will come to Switch. That's fine, it's buggy enough elsewhere as it is.

But I would like for them to at least look into a passive way to gift items. Like a donation box for your uploaded bases.

They are same planet biome with pink crystal popping up everywhere. I wish on that desonant planets, corrupted sentinels and pink crystals are spread in specific regions than them wrapping over the entire planet

I guess it's just a limitation of NMS. Each planet has one whole biome across it and the diversity comes from planet types.
It'll be interesting seeing Light No Fire actually tackle different biomes tho.

Friend wants to see planetary dungeons and such, kinda like Derelicts, but planet-side.
He also wants pirates you can encounter on foot, like Bandit Camps and such. And possibly events where bandits are raiding your settlement for the items it's producing..

#

Not behind your back of course, just when you're there, like the Sentinel alert level.

#

From what I'm understanding, he wants pirates as ground enemies that run after you, found at pirate camps. (He wants this idea above his other ideas)

#

I'd imagine it'd be terrifying to see this big, hulking Vy'keen running up to you and smacking you with a fist, just like that Markiplier meme.

Just a cool idea, but I'd love to be able to attack and do damage to the new stations. After a successful attack you could be able to convert the station to a pirate station

I kinda doubt they'll give players the freedom to drastically change a station's economy permanently...

it would be automated but you can take control to target mor dangerous targets

If they do add commandeering stations they should have it so only abandoned system stations can be taken over, maybe have a small questline to reactivate the AI after overriding it with the contraband item then having to fix it with some high end materials like circuit boards, portable fusion reactors, etc. Abandoned stations feel out of place and like they dont have much use due to the bad economy left in those systems so it'd give them some reason to exist outside slight immersion, though I dont see this happening.

My favorite part of NMS is the trade route subgame (aka Spreadsheets in Space). In Orbital, I love the slight UI changes to the star map, the stars & icons make a huge difference for someone like me. Plus I love the changes to economy types showing up at the higher level, so I don't need to track the economy sub-type quite as much (I can just focus on the main economy type category when making my nerdy spreadsheets).

That said, the single thing I want most is for the buy/sell numbers to be available somewhere besides the star map (like on the discovery log would be AMAZING). As I am travelling looking for routes, this slows me down quite a bit.

I imagine it's coming out in some form but hoping to see shuttle customisation being added as well as the colour black within the selection.

Customisation adding to Solar Ships also, as well as an overhaul to the pirate stations. Quite like the idea of Solar Ships only being customisable in Pirate stations.

Also a return to the uniqueness of space stations, the side rooms whilst not adding much purpose did add something tiny to explore with each station, including the Atlas Pass rooms with this also

So I think it would be very interesting if the autophages were to expand beyond their camps and venture into space on cloaked capital ships built from the crashed freighters that you sometimes find their camps in, and set up hidden stations in some of those systems that don't have stations.

#

Would be extra awesome if that was an expedition where you are an autophage assembling one of said capital ships and venturing to a station

#

Would you guys ever want some kind of private server for the game? Obviously this game works differently to game like Minecraft where you can't just host a world but it could be very useful to have some kind of central character/server uploading a groups worth of changes to the discovery server and smooth over some connection issues especially for large groups

There should be an update that overhauls freighters and allows them to be more combat useful. Like orbital strikes from space, or nukes from space. I think that’d be cool

This is a suggestion for a feature I sent to hello games and I want you guys' opinions, being able to build space stations, and it works like this
First you need a special ship part, something like a "Ship Building Tool" that sets your ship on building mode (slower and more precise movements making it easier to control the ship so you can build)
Then let's build, how do we build? You may ask. I have the answer: Station Blueprints! And each blueprint will give it a shape and functionality, I imagine these as some of them:
Trade Section: looks just like a regular space station
Ship manufacturing section: where you can build new ships and mod ships you already have (since we can't mod ships after they're built or ships we already had through buying or salvaging, I think it's cool you need to build your own workshop to custom your ships) and the Ship Manufacturing also has "The Mechanic" a special trader that offers you ship parts IF and only if, you complete certain missions for him. Since y'all want the exploring to be part of the building of ships.
Capital Ship section.: this section will be on the station sides and you may say "capital ships are too big for the stations!" And to that I say, fear not friend, cause I already thought about that, and the solution is that the capital Ship section is open on the sides, with a "go through barrier" protecting it from the space endless void. In the capital ship section you can buy capital ships (if there's any in there) or you can call yours there and mod it, by buying parts from the "Capital Ship Specialist" that's sells you capital ship parts like hyperdrive upgrades and all'at.

#

And you may think "all of that for free? Are you insane?" And no, friends, I am not, cause you'll need to periodically pay the shopkeepers, of course that'll make them offer you a discount as well.
Also, the quality of items sold by all shopkeepers will vary from what shopkeepers you hire, you hire them on non-player stations (they get replaced after you hire them and leave the system) the quality of the shopkeeper is what defines his salary and goods. You also need a good standing with the shopkeeper's species to hire them (that would be another reason to have a good standing with them!)
You can also customize the color of the station and all of its furniture, and even choose what guild operates on your station if you have enough standing with them.

Re-sending this here lol

What's y'all's opinion on this? Needs a bit of polishing but I can see this working so well

# fleet sierra What's y'all's opinion on this? Needs a bit of polishing but I can see this work...

I think I'll add this to a different update concept I'm working on involving adding more economic stuff and factories into the game, the only concern I have with this is that I'm not sure how compatible it would be with the servers since each system only has 1 space station and I'm not sure how the game would handle having more than one if the player-built one is coded similarly to the regular one or if it's just a gigantic base with space station shopkeepers

that being said, a lot of players would probably enjoy this idea and it would be cool to profit off of a space station's sales

# burnt kite Considering there's no public server, how could you have a private one?

Yeah it's a tricky one, was mainly thinking of ways the multiplayer could be a bit more seemless with group play, instead of having bases tied to the individual they could be tied to a server, same with standing etc. Ran into the issue quite a few times where I've played with friends who can't shake the feeling that this is a single player game with multiplayer tacked on rather than a multiplayer game. If that makes much sense?

I would like an option to have no missions selected. I want to start a new game for a Roleplay story I want to tell but the stupid little mission pop-ups are distracting from the story I want to tell apart from the main storyline. I have 1000+ hours in this game. I know the story lol. I want to tell my own now. and if my story fits activating the missions then I could activate the mission. I hope this all makes sense lol.

I'm already having pain enough trying to build a landing pad at my settlement (wtf is an aronium), I don't need more things to manage on my save between quests, space station bounties, hunting down starship storage upgrades, and everything else that I want to do

My settlement has a trading post and the wip landing pad. I seriously don't need more things to watch over than just the sentinel attacks

If they updated flight controls in the future I’d highly recommend derelict freights have a randomly generated maze of sorts that you have to fly through before you can land a sort of process of navigating a destroyed ship

Part of me kinda wishes some of the unique items like ships, etc. From expeditions got introduced into the main game via a short quest somehow. I start a lot of new saves for various reasons and it would be a nice thing to earn them rather than just getting them at the anomaly, I think Hello Games think similar things as you have to pay for the latest ship even if you've unlocked it

lithium as a localized earth element, and it charges hazard protection and starship shield

Really hope we get an update to the view from space when a planet has a storm, I have no idea what an actual storm looks like from space but the effect whilst VERY cool is really flat. I think most people mistake it for a bug at first
